Self-Absolution

Joe Biden is vice president in no small part to his Scranton altar-boy cred.

Lopez abetted the Catholic Church's attempt to get away with sex crimes against altar boys. She does not get to say "altar boy" ever again. To paraphrase Albert Brooks:

Please do me a favor. Don’t use the word. You may not use that word. It is off-limits to you. Only those who did not rape altar boys may use it. And don’t use any part of it either. Don’t use “altar.” Don’t use “boys.” You’re in a church, you can point - the priest is standing behind a marble table. And … and … you are girls or things.

A group of nuns representing 80% of US sisters is being formally reprimanded by the Church for, among other things, "focusing its work too much on poverty and economic injustice, while keeping 'silent' on abortion and same-sex marriage."
